A must miss

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Renee Ashton (and not Lacey Chabert as the packing implies) portrays a woman who was scorned by a married man and as a result, has an ingenious way of making all married men pay. Picking up married strangers in bars then going home with them and making them think they hooked up, she shows up a year later with a toddler from her mom's day care center in tow and demands cash to keep quiet. She has managed to accumulate quite a nest egg until she mistakenly tries to ply money out of a single guy who is on to her (particularly when she keeps showing up with a different kid) and wants to see how far it will go.

With a juvenile script and lots of former television actors in bit roles (a nearly unrecongnizable Julia Duffy plays her mom and the former Mr. J. Lo is the philandering best friend), this is a must miss from the first frame. The production values are cheesy, the acting is kind of second rate, and the heroine is so unsympathetic that it will be hard for viewers to feel anything for her but contempt."
